Traffic violation leads to arrest after drugs, gun found in car

A man stopped for a traffic violation Tuesday was arrested after New Castle County police say they found suboxone strips and a Glock handgun in the vehicle.

Officers with the Mobile Enforcement Team were patrolling the Four Seasons community near Glasgow when they stopped 27-year-old Gregory Wright driving a blue Buick, said Master Cpl. Heather Carter, a spokeswoman for the New Castle County Police Department.

Through the investigation, police searched the Wilmington man's vehicle and found suboxone strips and the gun, Carter said.

Wright was then arrested and charged with possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited while possessing suboxone, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, possession of suboxone without a prescription, no proof of insurance and expired registration.

He was released on a $10,000 unsecured bail.
